How can people call themselves pro-labor and pro-worker while disparaging police unions? Policing is a thankless profession that is essential to civil society and their natural home, in my opinion, is the Democratic Party. It is a mistake to push them away.
All of this is true, but it doesn't oblige me to defend the actions of a few racist idiots. It feels like there's no middle ground whatsoever on this issue. It seems that about 10-20% of police officers are regularly doing racist/inappropriate things, while the other 80-90% are just decent people who want to keep their communities safe. Can't anyone take a step back and distinguish this?
Wow, what a sensible, bridge-building comment from Santander (no sarcasm).
